Anybody know what this is then

?

Here's some more pictures.

It has really nice geometry to it.

I think the bars are GT.

Some one must have a clue. $:-\$

No idea tbh, but i like it, so reckon its worth saving, the sticker on the bottom of the seattube, what does that say?

Dannywhac · « **Reply #4 on:** July 07, 2011, 04:39 PM »

Serial number with a 00 maybe = 1990?

Looks like an Ammaco to me. They did a Gt Performer looky likey in the 90's.

well i just sat and went throughj 54 pages of bikes manufactured from 90-93 and not a sausage, but it does steall many design features from a lot of the bikes in that era

The frame looks like a General Hustler Fred Blood, which would put it mid to late 80's. According to The Museum the frames were made by Anlun, which might mean (as with a lot of other bikes) they were rebranded over here? Might be completely wrong though.........

Cheers Dan, i've put it on the Museum now to see if they know.

That'll be good, look forward to seeing them

The Museum bods are saying it's a Fred Blood though $:-\$ $:-\$

Does it have a coaster hanger and have the rear drop outs had the ends chopped off?

Tange forks?

No hanger, that's the bit that's confusing me. Everything else is spot on to the Fred Blood apart from that.

No also on the drop out's, they're untouched.

Not Tange forks that i can see at the moment. I haven't removed them anyhow to see any stamping on the steerer. I was told by the seller that they may be Puch forks.

steve69 · « **Reply #21 on:** July 09, 2011, 09:40 PM »

Here it is, sorry i didn't have time to wipe it down and it's not as rusty as it looks in the pic's

TOOWOOMBA 360 , handbuilt in England

I'm guessing this is late 90's > early 00's even though it is 1" headset and no canti/v-brake mounts, very nice TIG welding (better than i've seen on some high-end frame sets)

southern andy · « **Reply #22 on:** July 09, 2011, 10:26 PM »

Nice one, cheers mate.

Not too convinced on the year of it though $:-\$ but i will agree about your frame being exactly the same as the one above.

What age are you thinking then?

here's a link to a slightly later version or possibly a more modern version in the same range $:-\$ (different brace behind the seat tube and u-brake mounts but same decals). It maybe worth getting in contact with 'Cycle King' (the shop that supplied it) they maybe able to shed some light to it's origin
